A startling contrast to those who preport to represent it now.

It is not a black / white (binary) dilemma. The council board has made some minor mistake in the start of the Community Awards and the problem has taken big proportions during and after the results without any concrete solutions.

IMHO, the council board still works for the benefit of the Maemo/MeeGo community, and some (post edit : or all, I don't have the knowledge to judge anybody) of them indeed deserve community award devices.

Let's keep the Maemo/MeeGo community alive and strong, despite Step#%n El@p sabotage @ Nokia, etc.

Well done to you for taking the initiative, rcolistete! It's clear you really care about itsnotabigtruck's project very much, I hope he appreciates your generosity

If possible anybody (from "Community Awards" or "Coding Competition") could help to exchange the N9 for a N950, as a N950 was the preference of itsnotabigtruck.

It took a couple of weeks to sort out our prize split and it's balanced across our categories so I wouldn't want to change it, else we'd be back to discussing everything again

So please try and see if you can get an arrangement with one of the community award winners or one of the selected Qt Apps developers. There was a shortage of N9s in the Qt App programs at one stage so you might have some luck there. Else you could maybe swap with one of the coding competition winners but I understand you don't want to wait until the competition is completed. Fingers crossed you'll get someone to swap

Outspokenness and bluntness are ipso facto never the actual problem.

Please, separate NielDK's personal opinions from whole Council stance - just they way You *should* separate my opinions, from things marked as coming from whole Council.

If NielDK's came to conclusion, that he made some errors i procedure re CA, I'll leave it to him - but, AFAIK, it's only his personal opinion, no0t related to whole Council, and - again, AFAIK - most Councilors don't agree here.

I'm very glad, that attempts to hijack devices from wonderful Coding Competition have failed. OTOH, it would be absolutely fantastic, to see entires with some useful projects from people, that were not CA winners and protested here.

I'm keeping my thumbs for switching from generating multi-lines of posts to lines of code

Just to make things clear - if some people unsatisfied by Ca results are willing to sponsor few devices, for - in their opinion - more deserving ones, I'll absolutely keep thumbs for this idea, and, as said, Council is willing to help, if needed.

If, OTOH, someone would try to hijack prizes from other categories, in attempt to give "freebies" for someone (or self0, I'll do everything I can, to prevent that - you can take it as granted.

I would like to give your device to someone who deserves more, freebie!

Fine enough - so keep "liking"? I don't see, how jealous "willing" to hijack someone's else device is related to this topic. You see someone, that in Your opinion, should be awarded? Donate device Yourself, or even start something as great, as Coding Competition is (which started with only 50 bucks as a pool).

In other words, do something Yourself, instead of checking possibilities to rob someone.

I don't see you starting something useful either, and i see only you robbing others device. But how can i resist the voice of maemo and council, the one that knows everything, that goes forward only by merit, he holy Estel.

Still trolling around, eh? And some people though, that this thread it's going to turn into something practical.

I wish You, really, that Your disregard for other's contributions, and hate toward everyone who doesn't follow your (fckd upside down) morality, won't burn You out, from inside. At least now, it reminds me of some infamous psychopaths - which is, probably, perceived as compliment by You...

Have fun, kid, I'm, un-subscribing again.
